Japan may have their own 1:1 scale Gundam keeping watch on their country, but China is responding with a robot of its very own, namely a famous Transformer and the leader of the Autobots.

This 33-foot tall (10 meter) replica of Optimus Prime is definitely a super heavyweight contender weighing-in at 6 tons and stands vigil just north of the famous Bird’s Nest Stadium at Beijing Olympic Park. It was created out of retired auto parts along with other scrap metal and looks absolutely brilliant.

And I know what you are thinking. Who would win in a battle between Japan’s Gundam and China’s Optimus Prime? Well, considering both statues can’t move from their base it would be pretty much a stalemate. However, if they could both move freely it’s hard to say. Sure the Gundam is has the height advantage by about 24-feet (8 meters), but Optimus has no trouble taking down opponents more than twice his size.

So who would win in a all out battle? The RX-78-2 Gundam or Optimus Prime?

Who would win depends not only on them being able to move, but also on whether or not the Gundam has been rebuilt yet. I vote for Prime either way.

This is amazing! My son would love to see this! I bet my husband would enjoy it too! If I’m right Gundam is supposedly controlled by a human right? While Optimus is pure robot. In that case, I’d go for Optimus. Humans can go on without rest like robots. :)
